The first ethereum futures contracts will likely be trading on a regulated U.S. derivatives exchange within the very near future, providing the second-largest cryptocurrency with its first exposure to the institutional markets.

Ethereum Futures on the Horizon

The launch of bitcoin futures on U.S. exchanges Cboe and CME is expected to be a watershed event, introducing a wave of liquidity to the bitcoin ecosystem and transforming bitcoin into a mainstream financial instrument and portfolio asset. However, analysts who follow the industry closely believe that the ripple effect of these futures contracts will spill over into the broader cryptoasset markets.

I agree with you not long left to wait I think in the spring will begin to appear information and throughout the year, of course there will be futures

This:
"and transforming bitcoin into a mainstream financial instrument and portfolio asset."

Should be:
"transforming bitcoin into a tool for them to also get their share of money and to introduce new kinds of manipulation"

Unfortunetely even bitcoin futures were not that popular and  there was more hopes around it. But anyway the news are great. I would like the ETH futures even more than BTC because that can be simething like an analysis of the general situation arount all ERC20 ICOs made by traditional investors. That may help to determine the time when ICO bubble blow it (or simply push this bubble clother to the edge, hue hue :) ).

not fully interested because of since bitcoin futures appear, the price of 1 BTC keep falling down
i know this fall is not BTC futures doing, so much other bad news about it nowadays

;D ;D
interested
if we compare between ETH price and ETH supply in the market, we will see higher line compare to the last year
is it overprice?
not sure but price is grow more than 4 times but supply grow in stable number

Let's just wait and see and how these FUTURES will be doing their share in the cryptoworld if it will bring good news for everyone who are engaged in cryptos or it is just another thing that make the future of cryptoworld dim.

Sure. But the past year had a peak of the ICO boom (projects were picking millions while they are not worth that much). People are still investing large amounts of money but the competition between projects also became bigger. If some of the past ICOs will perform badly accorging to their roadmap or just turn into scam then the bubble may blow up. ETH is growing only because the supply is lower than demand. The bubble will definetely blow up sooner or later but the ETH futures may help to predict this moment.

I guess all these will be necessary to really make this crypto market legal but we'll see. Its not going to be a easy for us that had been in the crypto for years. The future isn't as bright as what should be when there are entities in the middle. They can easily manipulate the market and of course the money belongs to them.

Heard the NEWS today (not sure if that was a NEWS or rumours) that after BTC, ETH futures will be launching soon enough. Even though, I am pretty small to be a part of it, but this will bring a lot much FOMO money to crypto currencies. Crossing the market cap of a trillion dollars is pretty close.
with this being said, a lot much market manipulations are expected by the whales???
